There is something deeply unsettling about leaf blowers. Maybe it's that their very existence is predicated on the WALL-Eesque goal of removing all remnants of nature from human settlement. Yet rakes and hoes, in my opinion, are just fine. No, what's so outrageous about these noisy-ass lawn tools is how unnecessarily and how excessively they pollute our otherwise pleasurable autumn air.
What exactly does the man above hope to accomplish by using a leaf blower? There are no leaves in that photo. All he seems to be doing is displacing some poor earthworms from their homes--oh, yeah, and elevating sea levels, driving polar bears, penguins and other perennial Pixar stars into extinction, flooding New York City, and generally bringing about a secular, human-induced Armageddon.
In conclusion, leaf blowers are the scourge of humanity.
